I rode a western wind with a girl over to her mother'sIn the backyard stars shone brighter than the othersThat I rarely see through the smog through the haze that coversThe home that I used to live inWell I kind of sort of knew what was going to happenWhen she put her number down on a restaurant napkinShe said goodbye I think the words were when you're back inTown let's have each other again I'll come around and see you again

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for freeAnimated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue meIn the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could seeThat she'd come to rescue me

I tasted southern sin with a girl who was just perfectionHad a two room condo back in a wealthy sectionOf the Florida flatlands where she had me kept inA wicked trance for a dayWell I kind of sort of knew what was going to happenWhen she and a friend came and met me in AtlantaI professed my love in an animalistic mannerLike an endless foreign flick my subtitles were sick

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for freeAnimated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue meIn the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could seeThat she'd come to rescue me

Well I kind of sort of saw the sirens comingShe was running toward me wearing almost nothingAnd my heart beat skipped when she bent down at the hipAnd her lips pressed against mine

Like Jessica Rabbit she collects bad habits gets her drinks for freeAnimated vixen stole Cupid's arrow and came to rescue meIn the blink of an eyelid my lid opened up and I could seeThat she'd come to rescue me

Here she comes to rescue meI'm not gonna blink cause I wanna seeI wanna see her comeHere she comes

Sleeping through the evening singing dreams inside my headI'm heading out I've got some ins who say they care and they just mightI run away with you if things don't go as plannedPlanning big could be a gamble I've already rolled the diceI spit and stutter stuff and clutter worries in my worried cornerMaladjusted just untrusted rusted sometimes brilliant busted thoughtsThink I'll stay for a while I'm intrigued and I'm red as a newborn white as a corpse

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mindPromise not to mind if you go your way and I go minePromise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eyePromise not to try not to let you down

I am elated I am all smiles and dated in my man bites dog town with a Spanish nameI am all bone I am two tone red as a newborn white as a corpse

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mindPromise not to mind if you go your way and I go minePromise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eyePromise not to try not to let you down

Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outsideJust want to let you know that I'm still a fan, get it?Everybody wants charm and a smile and a promiseI promise not to try

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mindPromise not to mind if you go your way and I go minePromise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eyeI promise not to try not to not to not to leave

In the throws of young love LeroyDidn't think to think and in the blink of an eyeTied the knot not knowing how to not knowHe was the prodigal son this girl had brought him homeHe moved out of his step dad's apartmentHe moved in with this cute GuatemalanThings were copasetic 'til she caught himThings were cool and collected 'til she found him erected with another

Got screwed by the horse that he rode in onRiding high on his whims had only gotten him downHe moved back to his step dad's apartmentWhere he put himself back together 'til

She came back he's on the roof againShe flipped, he flipped the birdAnd then he went to the roof where his threats ring loud and clearGonna jump gonna jump gonna die this year

Sunset Strip bitchHe reads women's magazines, swears the truth doesn't phase himHe knows the hottest bras for fall and how to make her fall in loveIn four or five days or less, guess it depends on the starsAnd how well he has memorized his dating dos and don'ts he says

He wines and dines and takes his time between regurgitating linesVoted most likely to work in the rag he stole from workTres Flores in his hair, Old Spice lingers in the airGives an extra squirt of shine for sheen and smiles as he says

I'm ready to goGonna see my name underneath the stars when I walk the BoulevardThe horoscope today said things would go my waySunset Strip bitch

He knows his friends think that he's lame when he tells them he's got gameShops around for shiny clothes, strikes a super player poseHe reads women's magazines, he slaves to make the sceneGets the wax ripped off his back, he screams and smiles and he says

I'm ready to goGonna see my name underneath the stars when I walk the BoulevardThis outfit set me back two paychecks and a CadillacThe horroscope today said things would go my way

Amphetamines and jellybeansShe was pretty in her teensWaiting for the month of come what MayI smelled you on my shirt todayOf course the hardest part is letting goBut you've got to or you knowYou'll end up waiting by the

Phone me once in a whileLet me know you're alrightTell you again that I'm fineThen we go about our separate lives

Was it nasty scheme or lazy dreamsI left you cold two blankets deepThis is the last song I'll send your wayI smelled you on my shirt todayOf course the hardest part is letting goBut you've got to or you knowYou'll end up waiting by the

Phone me once in a whileLet me know you're alrightTell you again that I'm fineThen we go about our separate lives

Phone me tell me that you're waitingBy the phone for me to phone youOnce in a whileThen we go about our separate lives

Phone me once in a whileLet me know you're alrightTell you again that I'm fineThen we go about our separate lives

I took a ride to meet an enemyOctober light shown bright through the windshieldRight into my eyes where I was silent riding shotgunChewing on some sugar free gumParallel park and pay the meterIf I die before I leave tell her I'll never leave herI am fine just a little broken upOK my nerves have never been so shot

Can't get this shit off my mindI just want to be alrightSo just tell me nothing's wrongThen get undressed and spend the night

The autumn sun burning logic in my brainI'm asking why there is pleasure when there's painI'm here to pay for my mistakes in a humiliating mannerIf there is a next time I'll cover upI feel alone I feel shaky and uncertainA kind man shakes my hand and draws the curtainIn a word he saves my life and then I exit out the enter door and smile

Can't get this shit off my mindI just want to be alrightSo just tell me nothing's wrongThen get undressed and spend the night

I took a ride to meet an enemyI faced a fear of mine and shivered but didn't blinkI took a ride to meet an enemy to end all the madnessAnd now I know that I'll be fineI am fine

Can't get this shit off my mindI just want to be alrightSo just tell me nothing's wrongThen get undressed and spend the night

Well she's lying in our bed sweating staring at the ceilingI know her worried head is aching, I know the cause is meI could leave the bathroom light on for better dreams tonightMy stability, my luxury, my lifeAnd I won't go, neither will you turn off the phone, let's sleep 'til two

Your sad eyes take and own meWords are unnecessaryGrip the back of your neck and slowlyMove 'til it all becomes alright

I wake up in a cold sweat got a bone to pick with realityTake a deep breath and lay back down wearing my badge of infamyChange the bulb in the nightlight cause it flickered flickered and diedRepeat the words you're not alone to self three times and hit the lightMy aim is true, turn off the phone, let's sleep 'till two

Your sad eyes take and own meWords are unnecessaryGrip the back of your neck and slowlyMove 'til it all becomes alright

You're the one stepping on the back of my shoesYou're the one using me as a museYou're the one with the jet pack strapped to your back ready to go

It's you and her and nobody else the lights are low and she's so readyYou're already on your way to the doorYou're at the bar the tender gives you a free drink and winks, she's perfectYou sweat bullets, spill the drink and you leaveEveryone leaves the party except a gorgeous twenty something, you turn and run
